Sometimes, in order to protect yourself, you just end up hurting those you love on the way...

Yes, yes, so true. And so hard.
Seems like things are tough these days. Just want to give you a bracha that things should change quickly me'afeila l'orah, from darkness to light, just like in the times of Chanukah! We are in the month of miracles - may you experience your own personal miracle(s) real soon!
So freakin' true! Isn't it sad?
your words are so true... how can you fix such a situation???
IAG - thanx! ya, different things are going on these days. nothing really, but i guess to me, this is what life is about right now, and it's more than just "nothing". so amen to your bracha!
RD - good question.... there's gotta be a balance... but we have to find it before it's too late... and maybe, it's already too late :(
HS - it is. its too sad for words....
so can we brainstorm? i hate hurting people but i am so caught up in just what you wrote-protecting myself... i hate putting myself out there, getting trampled on then expected to just dust myself off and move on...
what to do???
it really cant be too late...
i think we gotta ask those maybe a bit more experienced than us. personally, i failed miserably...
i suppose your right.
sigh.
seeing it from the other side- at times when I feel hurt by others, even though I know they have to do it to protect themselves- it's such a deep pain cuz it's coming from someone who I know cares so it's like - why are you hurting me....and the logic that they have to do this just doesn't cut it....so you try to forget...pretend to forget...bury it and move on....smile :) and when asked what's wrong? oh, nothing, nothing at all....
k, I'm just venting here, sorry. this post brought up a lot of raw emotions some buried for way too long and some still fresh and stinging...
You know, as sad as it is, the reality is that you do come first. I've been on both ends of the situation and they both can be so frustrating. But sometimes you know that no matter how much you want to be there for the other person and you don't want to hurt them, you just have to set limitations for your own good. If someone is going to get hurt in the process, chayecha kodmim does come into play.
HS- I agree wholeheartedly!
